We have produced and
sold the print editions of Fred's books for several years. However, we have now decided to make
all of Fred's books available free to anyone who would like to read them.
That is the purpose of this website. Seven books are currently available for free. We are working on the
remaining book, and expect to have it available soon.

Our intention from the beginning has been to distribute our books to anyone
who sincerely wanted to read them. God has graciously provided for us, and
we do not believe in making a profit from what God has given so freely. Our
example is the apostle Paul, who made his living as a tentmaker, and taught
God’s message without charge.

Our print books have been priced low, barely enough to cover our costs.
Even then, we gave away as many books as we sold. Rather than reprint the
paper editions, we decided to move our books to the Internet, making the
electronic editions available to any who wish to read them.

Seven of Fred's

books have been revised for the Internet, and are now ready for reading.
We hope you will enjoy reading them, and we pray that you will grow
spiritually as a result. We
plan to have the remaining book (Fred's memoirs) available on the Internet soon.

In
addition, we still have a few of the print editions
of the original books
available.
If you would like to have a print copy, please e-mailyour
request to us. There will not be any charge for the book, but there will
be a small charge to cover shipping costs.

Our books are written to get people to think, and to search the scriptures
for themselves. Too many people do not sincerely search for God’s truth.
They approach the Bible with their own preconceived notions, and look for
verification of what they already believe.

When most people do go to scripture,
they bring with them a preconceived assumption of truth, and usually interpret
what they read through the lens of that bias. Even when confronted with
undeniable truth, they stubbornly maintain what they want to believe.

Many people are like that about one issue or another. Most folks do not
study the scriptures critically, trying to discern what they actually say.
Most of our beliefs come from what someone else said the scriptures
say...our local church, or our denomination, or perhaps our favorite
preacher or author. This, of course, opens the door to all kinds of
possibilities, and the result is often a syncretic set of beliefs that mix
scripture with non-scripture ideas.

The worst error is not that which is totally wrong, but that which is slightly wrong. A tiny deviation, repeated over time, becomes greatly
magnified. It is very important to study what you are taught, because error
repeated over time becomes “truth.” For at least 1700 years, that is
what has been happening in organized religion.

The first three centuries of the early church depicts a story of political
dog-fights masquerading as “doctrinal issues of truth.” The winning
side banished (and sometimes killed) the losers, burned their writings, and
set about to defend the “orthodox truth.” When Luther disagreed
several centuries later, he almost lost his life, too. At that point,
a new orthodoxy developed, and veered off in a different direction.

Most people do not search for truth, but for confirmation of what they
already believe. They actually feel tortured when their beliefs or
assumptions are challenged, and they usually attack the messenger.
When confronted with new ideas, they rarely examine them carefully, but are
more likely concerned with whether the new ideas conform to their
assumptions.

Few people are comfortable when the principles they have been taught are
questioned, or when they are challenged by a different interpretation of the
scriptures. What is worse, even if the new interpretations turn out to
be correct, they seldom change their beliefs. This seems to be
especially true when discussing God’s message about the coming kingdom of
God, and
the reign of Christ upon the earth.

Our books will undoubtedly introduce new ideas to some people. We do not
hold that these are the only possible interpretations, but we do believe
they are more plausible than any others we have seen so far. However, we
suggest that you neither accept our ideas at face value nor reject them out
of hand. Set aside what you think you already know. Pray as you read.
Study the scriptures for yourself. Ask God to help you understand his
truth. We are only human, and we may be wrong. You may be wrong, too.
Only God is without error, and he has promised to help those who ask (James 1:5).

It is dangerous to simply take someone else’s ideas and make them your own.
It does not matter who the other person is, nor what their credentials appear
to be. Imitate the Bereans, and study the word! Acts 17:10-12 says,

“And
the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who
coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more noble
than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all
readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things
were so. Therefore many of them believed.”

It is very easy to be puffed up by the natural mind of the flesh, and
deceived, and led astray.
